Flavorcade Game Preview App: A UX design Case Study

Remember those countless hours spent at the local arcade, mastering your favorite games, sharing the thrill with friends, and chasing that elusive high score? Or the excitement of discovering a new game that instantly captivated you? These classic gaming experiences can be carried on through apps like Flavorcade, which brings the latest and greatest games right to your fingertips. But how can we elevate the game previewing experience even further?

To pinpoint areas for improvement in a game preview app, I conducted user interviews with both casual and hardcore gamers. These conversations revealed three key issues to address:

Difficulty Finding Relevant Games: Users often struggled to discover games that aligned with their individual preferences.

Lack of Community Engagement: The app lacked a robust community feature for players to connect and interact.

Limited Insight into Game Development: Users expressed a desire for a behind-the-scenes look at the development process of their favorite games.

Fixed the user churn by delivering personalized game recommendations. By tailoring suggestions based on user preferences, Flavorcade ensures a delightful gaming experience from the outset, increasing user engagement and retention.

Increased player interaction by providing a platform for developers to share their stories and connect with gamers. The Developer Journals feature offers unprecedented access to the minds behind the games, fostering a deeper connection between gamers and developers and building a stronger community around Flavorcade.

Made room for community development through a central hub for gamers to connect, share recommendations, and seek advice. Flavorcade's community forums foster a collaborative space for gamers to discuss their favorite titles, enhancing the overall user experience and driving engagement within the platform.
